Yeah it'll cause more trouble than it'll solve...I am not sure this was UKGC's desired effect.
welcome to my neck of the woods im just down the road,my advice give the grosvenor a look slightly better rtp i thinkOk Iām in Great Yarmouth for the weekend and just had a spin of a couple of familiar online slots at one of the amusement centres here (Iām a Kiwi whoās lived in the UK since March 2020 so the seaside amusement places are a novelty to me).
After playing Fishing Frenzy at 88% Iāve decided that online slots arenāt that bad after all. Lolā¦
LOL...I had to add to this as I was actually on a UKGC Casino tonight (Platin). It was late, couldn't be arsed to buy any Crypto.
So me and a mate were trying to play with no autospin, first game Rise Of Merlin, well no dice because with autospin removed, you now have to click through the GAMBLE? prompt on every tiny win, as with all P n G slots with a gamble feature! Fail. Over to Moon Princess, clicking away in virtual silence as the winning combos reacted, formed wilds, and the wilds in turn reacted and exploded without so much as a peep. Completely ruined the feel of that game, too. BTG just unplayable due to the amount of spins required.
All the little "tells" (fast/slow spin) have gone from Netent and P 'n G, with the 2 second imposition all the spins are the same delay. Ok all the tells were only a bit of fun, but it's nice to know when a bonus is/isn't on the way.
Grim little timer at the top. with session win/loss. worked some of the time, and other times crashed out.
Won 100 quid but it was one of the most unenjoyable slot sessions I've ever had. Had to try it but it was actually worse than I feared, and my monthly slot budget will definitely be heading for sunnier shores from now on (as it has mostly been during 2021, to be fair).
We're all goin' on a summer holiday
No more clickin' for a week or two
Fun and laughter on a summer holiday
No more SOW for me or you
For a week or two
We're goin' where the fun is mighty
We're goin' where the RTP ain't blue
We've seen it in Curacao
Now let's see if it's true
I hope you don't want me to do another terrible Karaoke video...LOL...
Give this to Bruce Springsteen (Santa Claus is Coming to Town)
SING ALONG!
You better stop playing
You better not try
You better not gamble
I'm telling you why
The UKGC is cracking down
They're making it hard,
They think it's a vice,
They're gonna make sure slotting's not nice
The UKGC is cracking down
They watch you when you're playing
And tell you it's for your own sake
They know if you've spent minutes or hours
So instead watch those streamers so fake
You better stop playing
You better not try
You better not gamble
I'm telling you why
'Cause the UKGC is cracking down
Oh let's go!
They watch you when you're playing
And tell you it's for your own sake
They know if you've spent minutes or hours
So instead watch those streamers so fake
You better not spend!
You better not spin
This had better all end,
We think gambling's a sin
The UKGC is cracking down
You better read a book!
You better go away and die
Your pleasure we have took,
With no good reason why
The UKGC is cracking
I mean the big fat commission with the press agenda
Is cracking down...
Yeah. Since autoplay removal Iāve actually not really had the desire to deposit and play. Just doesnāt feel the same experience at all and the desire to keep manually click click clicking on slots that can take 1000 spins to bonus is non existent.I wonder how long it will be until the UKGC reduce slots to non spinning reels where the symbols appear on screen immediately after the spin button is pressed. No music or animations, and no wins allowed under 10x, meaning you will have to spin many more times before getting a win on your bet.
All that these clowns are doing is driving Ā£50 deposit per weekend, 20p a spin players like me away. I would have thought they wanted players like me without any gambling problems. Instead they are driving the non problem gamblers away, and driving the hardened gamblers to unregulated sites. The progress of clowns (aka the UKGC).
This hippolucious mammal is not fond of beaks either. But feathers are soft.This is just absolutely crap now It's like going to an orgy and only being allowed to kiss a fat bird.
Absolutely no joy or entertainment to be derived from these changes. I'm going to have to start playing blackjack again which I don't really want to do. Cheers UKGC
Why do you think that?I think that it is quite romantic for Countries outside of the UKGC's jurisdiction to feel like they have dodged a bullet. The UK is just the pilot scheme that will eventually be rolled out everywhere soon enough.
Basically this. Playing with auto-spin just never did it for me, plus I could never see the point/fun of leaving something on auto-spin and going off to do something else while it doesn't hit a bonus by itself.Iāll be honest. Not bothered by the lack of auto-spin - I never used it, and rather suspect the majority didnāt either. Weāre not representative here.
The lack of sounds on small wins is odd, and not consistently implemented, but not the end of the world.
I still play for fun, and really for me nowtās changed.
Got to admit i can also survive without autoplay. Most times i play i dont use autoplay . It was handy putting on auto when going for a fag or something but it will not bother me too much.Basically this. Playing with auto-spin just never did it for me, plus I could never see the point/fun of leaving something on auto-spin and going off to do something else while it doesn't hit a bonus by itself.
Wasn't aware about the sounds thing, but I generally turn the sound off on games anyway, otherwise that really would drive me crazy!
I can understand why some here aren't happy with these changes though, but just wanted to point out that being angry about the changes isn't an overall consensus
